13 Things That Come To Everyone’s Mind When They Think Of Portland
Everyone has something different come to mind when they think of the City of Roses. Depending on your experiences in and with the city, you form your own impression, but these are some of the biggest takeaways from our city.
Weirdness is one of our most well-known exports and dare I say we revel in it.
We are a craft beer powerhouse, and our reputation speaks for itself.
...and our immense love for them is also a draw for out-of-towners and us come lunch time.
Whether its chickens, goats, vegetables, or fruit, many Portlanders not-so-secretly want to be homesteaders, and many more are on the path.
If you like hitting the strip club, you are in luck in Portland, as we have more strip clubs per capita than anywhere in the US.
Whether you attend any of the myriad of events on the Waterfront, your local street fair, or a neighborhood block party, summer is festival time and our festivals are some of the best.
We are surrounded by mountains, rivers, and forests, and we love to get out into nature.
We have some truly great wine in the Willamette Valley.
Farmers markets are the place to be. We love local everything, and others do know about it.
There are dispensary tours that acquaint the out-of-towners with all the local businesses have to offer.
Whether you like Voodoo, Blue Star, or Annie's, chances are you love our donuts too.
We show up for protests like other people show up for work.
Sure, we have gotten drenched with over 45 inches this season, but we don't even graze the top ten list of most rainy places in the US. In fact, the Southeastern US gets quite a bit more rain annually than we do, but we are stuck with the rainy reputation.
